[Chapter 917 Crazy Woman]

Standing at the window, Qi Ning felt strange in his heart. He could hear it. It was obviously a woman who was crying. In the dark night, a woman’s cry came over, and it looked very miserable. It was really scary. Hearing the knock on the door, Qi Ning turned back suddenly, walked slowly to the door, and asked softly, “Who is it?”

“Master Hou, it’s me!” Mrs. Tian’s voice came from outside, looking very uncomfortable.

“Is something wrong?” Qi Ning was very indifferent to her along the way, always keeping a distance. He also saw that this move seemed to have some effect on this beautiful woman, at least the beautiful woman was already showing a restless mood.

“It’s nothing serious!” Mrs. Tian whispered, “I’m just asking if you heard the crying outside?”

Qi Ning didn’t open the door, but said, “I heard it, do you know what’s going on?”

“I don’t know, I cried for a long time, very pitiful.” Mrs. Tian said softly, “Can I go over and take a look?”

Qi Ning had something to say first, and the group must not act alone without his orders. Mrs. Tian obviously remembered Qi Ning’s words.

Qi Ning knew that Mrs. Tian must have a heart of sympathy, so she wanted to go over to see what was going on. After a moment of hesitation, she finally opened the door. She saw Mrs. Tian standing timidly outside the door and saw Qi Ning open the door. The door, the beautiful woman’s face showed a hint of joy.

“Did the crying make you sleepy?” Qi Ning asked softly.

Mrs. Tian shook her head and said, “No, I just feel that the woman is a little pitiful!” After hesitating, she said, “She has been there for a while.”

Qi Ning gave a “hmm” and said, “You go back to the house first, I’ll go and see what’s going on.” Knowing that she was going out, she had to be vigilant in everything, Mrs. Tian hesitated for a while, and finally nodded lightly and left, looking at A little lonely up there.

Qi Ning went out and came downstairs, and saw two soldiers sitting on the bench beside the stairs. They were the guards arranged by Wu Dalin.

Although there are not many inns in Dongyang County, there are even fewer guests. After all, it is only a small county town, and there are not many guests coming and going. Qi Ning and his party directly packaged the inn, and Wu Dalin will send them to every inn along the way. man guarding.

Seeing Qi Ning going downstairs, the two guards stood up immediately, Qi Ning nodded slightly, and walked past the counter, because the inn was already wrapped up, the shopkeeper did not need to arrange for others to live in, only one shop assistant was left in the hall , if someone comes in to stay at the hotel, it is also okay to refuse.

When the shop assistant saw Qi Ning, he also stood up. Qi Ning walked over and asked with a smile, “What’s the matter with the crying outside? Do you know that person?”

The shop assistant smiled and said, “Don’t pay attention to the guest officer, he is a lunatic. He has been wandering around the county town a month ago. He is always crying at night, like a female ghost, and he has come here two or three times.”

“Oh?” Qi Ning frowned and said, “Female lunatic? Do you know where it came from?”

The shop assistant shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I just heard from them that this crazy woman is looking for her husband!” He lowered his voice and said, “I also heard people say that she originally had a child, but the child suddenly She died of a sudden illness, she couldn’t find her husband again, and she went crazy all of a sudden.”

Qi Ning frowned, if this is the case, then the woman’s life experience is too miserable.

“You go to prepare some meals, and then arrange a room. If possible, find a woman to help her wash it.” Qi Ning threw a piece of silver to the shop assistant: “Let her eat enough and get a good night’s sleep.”

The shop clerk took the money, thanked him with great gratitude, and said, “The guest officer is really a living Bodhisattva. I will arrange it when I am young.” After getting the benefit, the shop clerk worked very quickly and trotted out.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Qi Ning turned his head and saw Wei Yujiang coming downstairs. Seeing Qi Ning, he hurriedly bowed his hands to Qi Ning. Qi Ning smiled and said, “Did you wake up?”

“I was reading a book, and I felt strange when I heard crying outside for a long time, so I came down and took a look.” Wei Yujiang stepped forward and said softly: “The woman’s cry was very miserable, but she seemed to have some grievance. .

”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “You have an occupational disease and you cry miserably, and you think of grievances.”

Wei Yujiang smiled embarrassedly and said, “I have seen many people with grievances. When they cry, it is the same, so it is inevitable to think more.” He sighed and said, “If there is no grievance in the world, then A humble job.”

“There are more officials like you in the world who enforce the law impartially and avenge the people’s grievances. Naturally, the grievances will become less and less.” Qi Ning patted Wei Yujiang on the shoulder and said, “I heard that the woman was looking for her husband. , it seems her husband’s whereabouts are unknown.”

“Oh?” Wei Yujiang was stunned, but at this moment, the shop assistant had already led the crazy woman to the shop. Qi Ning looked over and saw that the woman was disheveled, with a layer of dirt all over her body and tattered clothes. Rotten shirt, entering the store, the crazy woman looked around, but her eyes were full of fear.

The shop assistant urged: “Come with me quickly, I’ll get you something to eat, you have accumulated virtue in your past life, and today you meet a living Bodhisattva, look at you, tsk tsk!” His tone was full of disdain.

The woman hunched over and said in a dreamy voice, “Bodhisattva woohoo, Bodhisattva is here, where is it, I’m looking for Bodhisattva!”

The shop assistant pointed to Qi Ning and said, “Well, that is the living Bodhisattva, you should remember, there are not many living Bodhisattvas like this.”

The woman trotted forward and knelt down in front of Qi Ning. Qi Ning was startled and frowned. Wei Yujiang was also stunned, but seeing the crazy woman kowtow desperately, she kept saying, “Bodhisattva save me. Dazhuang, please save Dazhuang, I will offer you incense, please save Dazhuang!”

The shop assistant opened his eyes wide, but Qi Ning slowly squatted down and stared into the woman’s eyes. Although the woman’s face was full of dirt and she couldn’t see her face at all, she was only in her early twenties and would never exceed three years. ten years old.

“Who is Da Zhuang?” Qi Ning asked.

The mad woman raised her head and looked at Qi Ning. She just kowtowed again and again, no matter the severity. At this time, her forehead was broken and blood was oozing out. Qi Ning took out a silk handkerchief and reached out to wipe the blood on her forehead.

“Da Zhuang is my man!” The mad woman raised her hand and pointed out: “He was taken away, please save him!”

“Who was caught?”

“Ghost, was caught by a ghost.” The mad woman hurriedly said: “What a terrible ghost, they have taken Da Zhuang, I am afraid that they will take Xiao Fu, hide in the firewood and dare not come out, when I see those ghosts caught After leaving Da Zhuang, you are a Bodhisattva, ghosts are afraid of Bodhisattva, please let Da Zhuang come back!”

The shop assistant was afraid that the mad woman would annoy Qi Ning with her nonsense, and scolded: “You lunatic, talk nonsense, why don’t you go behind me!” He was about to come over and take away the female madman, but Qi Ning raised his hand to stop it. , still staring at the crazy woman and asked, “Who is Xiaofu?”

“Xiaofu!” The mad woman’s face was sluggish for a while, then she got up like a madman, rushed out, and shouted: “Xiaofu, Xiaofu, where are you? Mother will find your father and wait for your father to come back and make you a windmill. , woo woo, come out quickly, your father will kill me if he doesn’t see you when he comes back!”

Wei Yujiang hurried forward, but Qi Ning also stopped him with his hands, and quickly followed behind the mad woman. The mad woman rushed out of the inn and ran to the street in front of the door. Sitting on the ground, Qi Ning walked slowly to her side, only to hear the woman muttering to herself: “You all come back, I’m so scared, you all come back, Da Zhuang, I’m so scared!”

Wei Yujiang walked over to Qi Ning and whispered, “Master Hou, it seems that her husband was taken away.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said in a low voice, “But why did she say that she was taken away by the ghosts? Is it because she was unconscious and talking nonsense, or did she say she was taken away by the ghosts after her husband died?” Shaking his head, he said: “No, she saw her husband being taken away with her own eyes, and at that time she was hiding in the firewood room with her child, and didn’t dare to come out!” She turned her head to look at Wei Yujiang and asked, “Do you think what she said is true or false?”

Wei Yujiang looked solemn, and said, “I can’t be sure of the humble position. This woman has indeed lost her mind. Some things may have come out of her own mind, which may not be true.” He said thoughtfully, “Master Hou, you can only figure out this. Where did the woman come from, and then send someone to investigate, maybe we can find out some truth, this matter can be handed over to the local government.”

“Do you think you should alert the Dongyang County Government?”

Wei Yujiang immediately said: “Master Hou, maybe this woman is talking nonsense, but it is more likely that she really has grievances.” With a solemn expression: “As an official, you should be the master of the people, if she has grievances, the local The government should be duty-bound to investigate the truth of the matter. Moreover, given her current situation, the government should also find a way to settle her properly.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly. At this time, he heard footsteps again, only to see that Wu Dalin had led a few people to come quickly. Naturally, it was the movement downstairs that alerted them.

“Master Hou, what happened?” Wu Dalin approached and asked in a low voice when he saw the mad woman sitting on the ground, not understanding the situation for a while.

Qi Ning instructed: “Take two people and go to the Dongyang county government immediately, find the magistrate of Dongyang, and say that I have something to look for, it is best not to disturb too many people.”

Wu Dalin immediately said, “Let’s go now.” No nonsense, he brought two people to look for the magistrate of Dongyang.

The mad woman was sitting on the ground and muttering to herself, still thinking that Da Zhuang and Xiaofu would come back soon, and then Qi Ning gave the shop assistant a wink. The woman, the mad woman was in a daze at the moment, and let the shop assistant take it to the back of the inn.

At this time, Qi Ning saw Mrs. Tian twinkling standing not far behind, wanting to approach but not dare, she was amused and walked over slowly, Mrs. Tian forced a smile, Qi Ning hesitated before asking softly: ” Did you see that woman just now?”

Mrs. Tian nodded and said sympathetically, “She looks very pitiful.”

“She is a little unclear.” Qi Ning whispered: “I heard that she is looking for her husband, her husband is missing, the child!” Feeling a little cruel, he shook his head and said, “It’s nothing, you go to rest first.”
